A re edit from a past shoot

Went back and re-edited this photo from a shoot I did months ago. I learnt how to straighten it and even stretched out the background. Love it!

My new favourite

This is my new favourite site.

I would love to make it my goal to cook/bake myself through all her amazing recipes!! the only problem I have is the ingredients....so many not here in New Zealand. Like can pumpkin. Whats up with that? Is it just mashed pumpkin in a can or is it Sweet or does it have spices in it?? Who knows...

Any whoooooo... I tried the Honey Garlic Crockpot chicken tonight and it was amazing. A real winner in our family!!

Pop over and have a look, I am sure you will be addicted to

Happy New Years to one and all

My sisters and I on Christmas day - can't believe we were all coloured co ordinated

I know I have not been around much - doesn't mean I am not checking in on you all but we have been a little tied up and busy with all sorts of things.

My Father in laws brain surgery to remove his tumour went way better than we all expected. It is an extremely aggressive one so now he sits back and waits for it to grow again. :( Everyone is in good spirits though and believe 2012 will go well for us all.

My News resolution this year - well there one two

1) actually make an achievable resolution

2) throw away/recycle/donate 30 things from every single room in the house!

I have done 6 rooms so far and have 3 to go!!! I have gotten rid of WAY more than 30 things from most rooms and I have loved it. Hubby and I went through our clothes and came out with the biggest bag to donate you have ever seen! I mean come on he still had a sweatshirt from lifesaving from 1993!!!

The Kids rooms are only half done with their drawers and wardrobes done and then the biggy - THE PLAYROOM. I am dreading it as it has become the dumping room there is all sorts of bits and pieces in there!
